Stop auto dimming
I have a hp 6730b and am trying to stop the auto dimming of the screen when I unplug the power cord.
Could not find anything on the power options. Pressing Function + F10 is supposed to increase brightness, but it doesn't work for some reason. Brain fog on my part I guess. :-0 |

Odd... both my old Toshiba and new Lenovo have very involved power settings for just about everything. If you can't stop auto dimming, then set it to dim to the brightest setting. |

Brain fog on my part I guess. :-0 In my Power Options, I have a setting to "Adjust Display Brightness" with a separate setting for "On Battery" and "Plugged In". I have the "On Battery" setting to full brightness so it doesn't dim when unplugged. You may want to recheck your Power Options for something along those lines. |

IIRC, you need to set a power scheme for when operating on battery that sets the display the way you like. |

I just d/l the power manual and there is nothing about dimming other than using ctrl f9 and ctrl f10. Looks like that laptop is very limited. I would not be able to use it. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...Fc01548421.pdf |
